Taiwan fears 'full scale invasion' by China by 2025

Over a four- day period beginning last Friday, Taiwan reported close to 150 Chinese air force aircraft entered its air defence zone, part of a pattern of what Taipei calls Beijing`s “continued harassment of the Chinese-claimed island.”

TAIPEI: Taiwan Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng has said on Wednesday that China will be capable of mounting a full scale invasion of the democratic island by 2025.

Over a four- day period beginning last Friday, Taiwan reported close to 150 Chinese air force aircraft entered its air defence zone, part of a pattern of what Taipei calls Beijing`s “continued harassment of the Chinese-claimed island.”
